most likely to benefit the country.
A word to our Local Correspondents.
Generally speaking the HERALD
finds itself confined to a rather lin
tied field, but still a field needing
cultivation, and possessing the means
capable of producing excellence and
insuring success. For its news it
must confne itself to the events that
arc transporting within the range of
its circulation. 1t should weekly
contain report of all matters of
interest that have taken place in the
neigllboring towns and villages.
And, if many times these items
appear trivial, they are quite as in.
teresting to the readers of the special
locality alluded to as paragraphs
often found in the city dailies de-
scribing street fight or chronicEng
the movements of some noted pugi-
list, and the like. For the greater
part of its news the local paper is
indebted to its friends, and the
newsiness of the paper, and there
fore its chief merit with most of its
readers, is in their hands. 1t has
no press association to rely upon,
and the doings Of the people, their
comings and goings, their joys and
sorrows must be CLEANED by its cor.
respondents, who, as a rule, gratzit.
ously act the part Of reporters. Did
our correspondents realize that the
brightness and nowsiness of each

tent, among themselves, we believ,
they would be more jealous in find
ing news and writing it up. There

A chat with our Patrons.

looking back to the commencement
of our connection with it we cheer
fully acknowledge that VIC have
much reason for satisfaction as well
as thankfulness to our many friends,
and to the reading public of Essex
county and vicinity for the numer.
Gus tokens of goodwill they have
manifested, and the liberal patron
age they have extended to it. This
pleasant experience has proved very
encouraging to us, more especially
during the early stages of our con-
nection with the paper. We have,
from the first, Striven to realize the
high and worthy professional ideal
of The province of journalism, in
Guiding the furnishing of useful and
trustworthy intelligence to the public
on all subjects of moment, manly
discussions of political, business and
social problems affecting the entire
community, and the advocacy of
such measures as appear to us hon.
orable in themselves and best fitted
to promote the public veal. We
desire to continue in this course; not
only striving energetically to spread
before the people the most service
able intelligence on all matters Of
general interest, but our honest and
well meaning views with regard to
problems concerning the rights and
welfare of the people. At the same
time, in the capacity of critic, we
do not desire to do any party injus-
tice, and shall always be glad to re-
tract any error or make amends for
such wrongs as we may at any time
commit. Our main object is the
entertainment and instruction of
our readers, with the discovery and
proclamation of the truth on all
subjects of debate that are usually
dealt with by the press.
Our Political Course.
Politically speaking, the HERALD

sion of opinion. The country is
large enough for two or any number
of parties honestly differing in opin-
ION, and waging war with decent
weapons and by honorable rules.
Honest differences of opinion are
entitled to respect, and talent, on
whatever side, unsullied by wrong
doing is worthy of admiring &C.
acknowledgements. And while this
should be cheerfully admitted, it is
no less the duty Of respectable jour
nalism to, visit with the sharpest
discipline violations of personal
honor, acts of political corruption,
and the sacrifice of the public inter,
est to individual or party advantage
by even the ablest and most popular
of our party men. Such offences
we hopo may be rare in the future
And the best security in this direc
tion will be an active and vigorous
press, vigilant and impartial in the
salutary work Of censorship, work
which cannot be neglected with
safety to the people.

UNMARRIED GIRLS.
The Growing Nnmbsr OF Women Who Re
main Unmarried.
NV York Irlhnnr-


A Boston newspaper writer recently
met in q New England town woman VINO
had kept for number of years record
of the girls graduated from the nigh
school OF the village and their lives after
leaving school. The first striking fact in
this record was the growing number of
those who remained unmarried. Eleven
years have elapsed since the last of the
clusses was graduated, aod it IS fair,
therefore, to assume that their lives
are we'll marked out by this time.
The first class recorded had
Is members, 10 OF whom are unmarried !;
> Of the second class, 10 out l. are I'M
married; in the third, Is out of 81, and
50 on. Out of g total OF 80 graduates 81
are still single, q married and II, it is OF
some interest 10 add, are dead of con-
sumption, prey to the bitter winds CT

RED graduates u are school
teachers, are typesetters, l is g
prooireeder, l is head dressmsker il
dry goods house, four are dressmakers
three music teachers, one has studied
medicine and fifteen work in shoe shops
| Only twelve, or hardly oneffth Of the
whole numbers are Classed as "stGy-at
homes" These eyleentlg did not need tt
WORK for living, and it is fair to assume
that g good proportion, at least, had

for them Of more active career outside.

erStion for SO many young women wiz

not true that the old theory that mar
rage is Indispensable to woman, while
it is perhaps only desirable for nan, i!
losing some of its force? We sre H.
cliued to believe that these figures an(
many like them which could 40 doubt bt
had for the trying, prove it. Mar
